U will find out

Since it's only 3/3/2 for subjects each semester wouldn't that mean less time going to uni as a trade off? Or is the extra holiday worth the more time at uni during the terms?

wouldnt be surprised if they increase contact hours/week for some courses given its also being compressed from 13 to 10 weeks, but yeah its good to have a break every now n then instead of always doing uni

But I have graduated so not my concern anymore

Hi guys! I'll be staying at/near the Kensington campus next semester, and I was wondering if anyone knew any nice parks that are safe to run in/cheap gyms nearby? Any advice much appreciated. <3

I thought it was 3/3/3?

Also how does transfering work if the model is in the form of a trimester?

Yeah, you have to wait till you get the offer but pretty much after you accept it you're good to go.
